British Army Uniforms - 20 September 2007In the first set of a series of military uniforms, Royal Mail is issuing a set of 6 stamps showing British Army Uniforms. |
The stamps, in se-tenant strips of 3, feature in reverse
chronological order:
1st class a military police NCO from Kosovo, a tank commander
from the Second World War, and an artillery observer from World War One;
78p a rifleman from the Peninsula War, a grenadier from the
battle of Blenheim and a trooper from the Earl of Oxford's Horse from
around the time of the restoration

The set tracks the changes from the colourful uniforms of the 17th, 18th and 19th century to the present day disruptive pattern camouflage.
This issue will also include a presentation pack, stamp cards, and a prestige stamp book (PSB). We will produce a set of first day covers for the panes, and another for the set of 6.
